The untold story of the drama, controversy, and incredible political genius of Lincoln's first presidential campaign
In May of 1860, Republican delegates gathered in Chicago for their second-ever convention, with the full expectation of electing William Seward their next presidential candidate.

He went by the name of Lincoln.
